While some news organizations are pulling back on state-level journalism, these Collier Prize award-winning investigations demonstrate the impact of covering state government. From abuse at juvenile detention facilities, to a governor shipping migrants out of state, to corruption at a state bar regulator, all of these stories led to criminal probes or meaningful reform.
Attendees will learn about:
- The impact of covering state government
- The power of collaboration in investigations
- The challenges of covering vulnerable communities
- The opportunity of not overlooking obvious stories
This session is designed for:
- Journalists who want to learn more about techniques and strategies for data journalism
- Technologists who want to learn more about tools used to mine data for investigative stories
